Easy Cherry Pie Bars Recipe

These adorable Cherry Pie Bars are summer sweetness in a bite. The cake base is heavenly. Not at all crumbly, it slices extremely well, which is sometimes not the case when I make cherry pies. To keep the top nice and light-colored, you may want to add a piece of tin foil over the top of the baking pan after about 20 minutes.
